Historic pub in heart of Lancashire walking & cycling spot is put on the market by Thwaites
The pub was built in the late 1700s.
An 18th century pub at the heart of one of Lancashire’s most-visited walking and cycling desinations has been listed for sale.
The pub, located right on the quayside at West Quay, served as a watering hole for mariners and dockworkers as Glasson grew into a bustling port, and is still highly-regarded for its food and drink offering.
It rates as 4.5/5 on Tripadvisor, with guests noting its friendly staff and good service. The pub is also dog-friendly, with visitors in campervans invited to spend the evening in their car park.
The pub site extends to 0.30 acres, including a car park for approximately 20 vehicles, as well as a beer garden to the front.
Four-bed living accomodation is included with the property.
The agent states that there is “potential for alternative uses including residential subject to planning consent.”
It is understood that the pub is running as normal while for sale.
What Thwaites say
Andrew Buchanan, director of pubs and brewing at Thwaites, said: “After the current operators made the decision to exit, and with lots of careful consideration, we've decided that the best future for the Dalton Arms is as an independently owned pub or other local business. While a tenancy model is no longer the right fit, we won't be placing any restrictions on the sale, giving a new owner the opportunity to continue operating it as a pub if they choose.
“We'd also like to thank the current operators, who have done an excellent job since taking on the Dalton Arms in 2016. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for the pub."
